SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the conjecture regarding Dirichlet series, specifically the function g(s) defined as g(s) = ∑_{n=1}^{∞} a(n) n^{-s}, which has a single pole at s=1 with residue C. The main question posed is whether the series converges for s > 1 and if the singularity at s=1 can be effectively managed using Ramanujan resummation techniques. The proposed formulation suggests that g(s) can be expressed in a way that accounts for the pole, allowing for meaningful evaluation at any positive s.

if [tex]g(s)= \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a(n) n^{-s}[/tex]

Where g(s) has a single pole at s=1 with residue C, then my question/conjecture is if for s >0 (real part of s bigger than 0) we can write

[tex]g(s)= C(\frac{1}{s-1}+1)-s\int_{0}^{\infty}dx(Cx-A(x))x^{-s-1}[/tex]

of course [tex]A(x)=\sum_{n \le x}a(n)[/tex]

the question is if the series converge for s >1 with a pole there is a method to 'substract' this singularity (pole) at s=1 to give meaning for the series at any positive s.

I think that the 'Ramanujan resummation' may help to give the result:

[tex]\sum_{ n >1}^{[R]}a(n)n^{-s} = g(s)-C(s-1)^{-1}[/tex] valid even for s=1 or s>0 (??)
